>High Coup Bow

Posted on February 20, 2011 by Jerry

                                       no retirement
                               traded in the light saber
                                  the force suspended

>After a lifetime spent in intergalactic warfare, one would think he'd at least have a pension. When Vader hocks his sabre, the economy must terrible. Force suspended, indeed.

>Stunning, one of my favorite poems in this batch of Vader poems. Utterly perfect (overkill expression, yes, but true) – wish I'd written this (said in a non-jealous way).

>Agree with Steve Isaak—One of my favorites in this batch. More and more I am liking short, punchy stuff, but when, as here, the final touch is supplied by the reader's pondering, then most excellent.The tone is quippy, but there's a dark edge.
